Since there’s low activity on the individual game day threads, we thought a better option would be to just have one stickied thread for all* games.
*All is defined as…2026 regular season and post season games? We’ll figure it out as we go along.
Ideally there’ll be a top level comment for the game in question, and the comments for that game can be posted as replies to that comment. If there’s no top-level comment for a game you want to comment on, go ahead and start one.
Suggested wording for the top level comment should be something like: “Ducks @ Caps, 1/5/26”. We’re not going to be rigorous here, just be clear what game you’re talking about.
Let’s go Caps!
Canadiens @ Caps, 1/13/26
We’re going to this one tonight. If recent experience is any guide, the Caps should win…
Nice comeback OT win! I’m also really liking what I’m seeing from Ethen Frank this season!
Stars at Caps, 1/7/26
The Caps rarely play well against the Stars for some reason.
The Stars are also the second-best team in the league right now, whereas the Caps are very mid at the moment, which is kinda perplexing because I don’t think much has changed since last season in terms of personnel. 🤷♂️
Yep. I think part of the issue with the Caps is that they have a lot of younger players who are just inconsistent - they’re still learning. But they are all good players, so I think they’ll just get better as time goes on.
By the way, you should watch the end of the San Jose/Dallas game yesterday - the OT game winner power play goal was a thing of beauty. The Sharks just kept hammering pucks at DeSmith, who did a really great job stopping most of them, but the Dallas defense couldn’t get the puck out of the zone.
Ducks @ Caps, 1/5/26
With the top two scorers (Wilson & Protas) out, Sourdif has two goals. And while I was typing this, Leonard just scored the third goal!
And we have a Sourdif hat trick.
Did not have that on my Bingo card!
His first career hatty, good for him!
